Kinetic Green Tonino Lamborghini has appointed Electrify Maldives as its exclusive dealer for its electric golf and lifestyle carts in the Maldives. The appointment follows a distribution agreement with Trade Promoters Sri Lanka.

Electrify Maldives unveiled the electric carts on 28 October at TechEng 2025, the Maldives' exhibition for engineering and technology. Ferruccio Lamborghini, Vice-President of Tonino Lamborghini, attended the opening ceremony as the Guest.

The collaboration is positioned to bring mobility solutions to sectors including golf courses, resorts, estates and corporate campuses.

At present, the cart line-up is offered in two product lines: the Genesis Range and the Prestige Range. Available in 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-seater configurations, the models feature a MacPherson suspension, four-wheel hydraulic brakes, 45 Nm torque and 30 percent gradeability. The lithium-ion battery with wireless charging offers a 10-year life and a range of up to 150km, backed by a 5-year warranty. Smart features such as a TFT dashboard, LED headlights and wireless mobile charging are included.

Dr. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO, Kinetic Green, said: “For a long, the golf cart segment has awaited a true disruptor – an extraordinary offering that transcends the mundane. Over the years, the use of golf carts has extended well beyond golf- to luxury resorts, world-class airports, sprawling townships and corporate campuses and to personal use. But the design and specifications of popular golf carts has remained much the same, and this is where we see a large global market ready for disruption!

Ecofy, a green-focused NBFC backed by Eversource Capital, has entered a strategic partnership with Ather Energy to provide financing for electric two-wheelers. Under the agreement, Ecofy plans to deploy INR 1 billion in capital to support the purchase and ownership of Ather vehicles.

The collaboration is intended to improve access to green financing and address barriers to electric vehicle (EV) adoption, such as upfront costs and uncertainty regarding asset value.

Ecofy will serve as a preferred financing partner, offering Ather customers a range of options beyond standard vehicle loans:

• Leasing Solutions: Providing alternatives to traditional ownership.
• Assured Buyback: Structures designed to offer certainty on future asset value.
• Battery-as-a-Service: Separating battery costs from the vehicle purchase to reduce initial expenditure.

The partnership combines Ather Energy's manufacturing and technology with Ecofy's retail-focused finance platform. The goal is to stimulate demand across both urban and emerging markets in India by simplifying the purchase journey for first-time EV buyers.

Rajashree Nambiar, Co-Founder, MD & CEO, Ecofy, said, “Clean transportation is critical to India’s green transition, and wider adoption depends on access to the right financing solutions. Our partnership with Ather Energy brings together strong product offerings and specialized green finance, helping customers adopt EVs with greater confidence, affordability, and flexibility.”

Ravneet Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy, said, “Financing is an important consideration in the two-wheeler purchase journey, particularly for customers exploring EVs for the first time. Over the years, we’ve worked to build a strong financing ecosystem to make Ather accessible across markets. This partnership with Ecofy further broadens the range of financing options available to customers looking to buy an Ather, making the purchase and ownership journey easier to navigate. It helps simplify the decision-making process and supports broader access to electric two-wheelers.”

Pune-based Kinetic Watts & Volts (KWV), the electric vehicle division of the Kinetic Group, has received approval for incentives totalling approximately INR 420 million under the Government of Maharashtra’s Electric Vehicle Policy. The benefits will be realised in phases over a 10-year period.

The state policy provides capital-linked support, tax exemptions and incentives for component manufacturing to establish Maharashtra as a hub for electric vehicle production.

The qualification for the scheme was based on the company’s localisation efforts for its Kinetic DX electric scooter. Designed from the ground up, 99 percent of the vehicle’s components are tooled and sourced within India. At present, the company is manufacturing the e-scooter from its Ahilyanagar facility in Maharashtra.

The company stated it has invested approximately INR 700 million in manufacturing infrastructure, which includes establishing production lines for critical subsystems, aiming to reduce supply-chain dependencies.

The Kinetic DX EV features a metal body and 37 litres of under-seat storage. The model includes patented features such as Easy Charge, Easy FLIP and Easy key.

The company has commenced sales and service operations in Pune, Mumbai, Vadodara and Surat, with plans for national expansion. The subsidies will be utilised to scale production of the DX EV range, chassis sub-assembly lines, and the Range-X battery assembly operations.

Ajinkya Firodia, Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Kinetic Watts & Volts, said, “The Maharashtra EV Policy is a progressive step toward building a strong domestic EV ecosystem. The incentive linked to our investment of around INR 700 million, supports our strategy of robotics-led manufacturing and in-house battery assembly. This will help us accelerate localisation, expand production capacity, and deliver durable, safe and accessible electric mobility solutions for Indian families at scale.”

Greaves Electric Mobility (GEML) has been recognised by the Asia Book of Records as the first electric two-wheeler brand to ascend Kolli Hills in Tamil Nadu. The route consists of 70 hairpin bends and is utilised as a testing ground for vehicle endurance and gradient performance.

The record attempt took place on 7 January 2026 with the Ampere Nexus e-scooter completing the ascent from Belukurichi to the summit in 22 minutes and 10 seconds. Asia Book of Records officials validated the achievement on the same day.

The ascent was used to validate the company's engineering for diverse riding conditions, including steep gradients and sustained load cycles.

• Battery Technology: Utilises LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry, designed to operate in temperatures ranging from –40deg C to 60deg C.
• Chassis: Constructed from high-tensile steel with a dual-frame design for balance during continuous cornering.
• Powertrain: Features a motor tuned for instant torque on climbs and regenerative braking for descents.
• Software: Includes traction control systems to manage slippery surfaces.

Greaves Electric Mobility currently operates in India and Nepal, with an emerging presence in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Africa. The company stated that the Kolli Hills milestone demonstrates the capability of electric two-wheelers to perform beyond urban environments.

Vikas Singh, Managing Director, Greaves Electric Mobility, said, “India’s riding conditions are among the most demanding in the world, and our approach has always been to engineer electric vehicles that are built for Bharat, not just for ideal test environments. The Kolli Hills ascent is a real-world validation of that philosophy. The Ampere Nexus combines safe and durable LFP battery technology with a robust dual-frame chassis that is designed to handle steep gradients, repeated cornering, and sustained load conditions. Achievements like this reaffirm our focus on building electric mobility solutions that can perform reliably across tough terrains.”
